Body balance blend Tai-Chi, Pilates, Yoga and music

Imagine a gym class with stretching and posture exercises? Now mix martial arts, pilates and yoga techniques, all in 60 minutes. This is the body balance, a method that allows high caloric expenditure and body balance. Created in New Zealand, the body-balancing class takes place in an hour of class, which is governed by 10 to 11 songs, which have a specific function, according to the body's needs to become accustomed to physical exercises. Soon in the first song, the students come in contact with some slight movements of the Tai-Chi, good to stimulate the corporal warmth, the concentration and the muscular posture. Then, with the next song, students begin to practice the principles of Yoga breathing, as well as postures of flexibility and thus, throughout each song, a heavier load of exercises is added, for example, hip opening , muscle contractions, spinal twists and push ups. "Each song determines a muscle group, so the advantage of this class is that practically every muscle in the body is worked," explains Robinson Kennedy, a free educator at Body Systems, a company that brought the modality to Brazil. According to the educator of Body Systems, the structure of the lesson is always the same, however the types of exercises vary greatly from one class to another. "The creativity of each teacher, the physical preparation of the students and the sequence of exercises consistent with the proposal of the songs are very variable, which leaves the class dynamic and authentic."

The lesson of body balance is quite democratic. No movement is too complex and therefore there are no contraindications. "Anyone can be a part of it.We only respect the official classification used in academies, which is 15 to 70 years old, but it does well for anyone, including pregnant women," says Robinson. of body balance is the postural conditioning of the students. For that to happen, targeted exercises also benefit other areas of the body, as Robinson explains: "For students who attend classes at least three times a week, within a month it is possible to notice, in addition to improved posture, improvement also in respiration, in flexibility, in the activation of blood circulation. Outside that is an escape valve for stress. " Apart from all the benefits, there is caloric loss. The educator says that in a class it is possible to lose 600 to 900 calories, according to the physical endurance of each student.

Specific characteristics of the modality

The body balance has some particularities of training to fit the needs of the students and so that it can take effect quickly.

The first of these is that the professional qualified to give the class must necessarily undergo a course taught by Body Systems, 27 hours and with quarterly updates. Another peculiarity is in relation to the songs, which are compositions of New Zealand's specialistic styles that fit the body's preparation needs so that it reacts positively to increasing stimuli. This, moreover, helps the student's ability to concentrate, making it easier for older students to do.

In addition, it is good for the student to wear loose, comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to ensure greater support of the feet with the ground. "When you're on foot, there's a strain on your feet that goes up to your body, preventing total relaxation, so totally free feet are important to achieve better results," explains Robinson Kennedy.But the biggest peculiarity is that the body balance is a class that involves several styles. With simple and efficient movements, it is possible to go through relaxing, stretching and muscle-demanding modalities, as well as basics about martial arts.
